According to Snopes, it was taken at a protest in Dallas earlier this month;

However, as it turned out, the photograph was taken on 10 June 2018, but it did not show a child confined by immigration authorities to a cage. Rather, it was snapped during a protest staged in front of Dallas City Hall to call attention to the Trump administration’s practice of separating families and confining undocumented children. Different photographs of the event document that the same child was standing a mocked-up “cage” open at the top, and several commenters noted that the boy was crying not because he was confined, but because he saw his mother outside the pen and could not immediately figure out how to get to her.

An accompanying photo that hasn’t gone viral confirms Snopes’ research – the little guy is in the foreground, obviously not caged;

Other photos have gone viral to protest the Trump Administration policy;

That particular photo was taken in 2014, years before there was a President Trump. According to Business Insider, Obama Adminstration officials have been scrambling to explain the photos;

Jon Favreau, who worked as a speechwriter for former President Barack Obama, tweeted, “This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.”

Favreau said Tuesday he later deleted the tweet after social media users pointed out that the photos were taken during the Obama administration. But by that point, critics had already rushed to accuse him of concealing Obama’s own harsh immigration tactics while condemning Trump’s.

Favreau said in a series of tweets that he made a “mistake” by not checking the date of the photos before sharing them on Twitter. He explained that the photos were taken in 2014, when the Obama administration faced “an influx of unaccompanied minors who showed up at the border, fleeing violence from Central America.”

Absolutely crazy, Fun fact Obama deported more people than Trump per year. Not only that but the number was 3x larger. It’s ridiculous as his nickname was deporter-in-chief. The only reason this is not coming up is that Obama spent 36 million dollars to keep his affairs private. WoW, talk about an Impeachable President.

Because they’ll use any possible excuse to dissolve the borders and sovereignty of this country so that they can minimalize the old demographics and suck up to new demographics, who will then vote for them en masse, giving them unrestrained power, and giving us a lifetime of misery-inducing public policy.

My personal favorite is the lie that parents are being deported without their kids. No deported parents are forced to leave their children behind. The parents are CHOOSING to leave their children behind. Liberals, do you see the difference? Parents. Left. Their. Kids. Behind.
And hey, How’s that Elian Gonzalez kid these days?

It’s already been done. Many of those kids paced in “foster care” have disappeared, were later found to be enslaved in deplorable conditions, and other horrendous situations. Remember the buses that a CA town turned away filled with children?

The big thing now is how the kids are being housed in “soft sided shelters” Oh, the horror, a tent city that some idiot from El Paso equated with Joe Arpaio’s tent city jail. Big difference between an air conditioned tent and one that isn’t. I’ve been housed in all manner of tents from GP tiny to GP Medium to German fest tents to whatever the hell that guard house was at Miesau Depot and there’s a world of differences between soft sided shelters. I can’t find the article on line that I read in yesterday’s Caller Times, but there’s this that reflects what’s going on down here.

It is almost as if we are living in a country where the media is controlled by the regime and all we get from the MSM media organs is former D-rat regime approved propaganda as “news.” Sorta like living in Stalin’s USSR and we are getting our news from the Ministry of Truth via Pravda, except in our case via “Progda.”

I hope no one actually thought that Obama and Jarrett were going to sit in the D.C. suburbs and just send texts to their friends.
Well, they are, kinda. It’s called the talking point of the day. Notice that Moanin’ Schmoe on MSDNC leads off with whatever talking point they get, and the rest of the liars in the media follow on. They sometimes even use the same phrasing from Moanin’ Schmoe, not being sharp enough to even change the words.

If there is one law that needs eliminated it is the one which allows for parents to sneak into this country and have a baby at a Stateside hospital. This supposedly makes the newborn an American citizen. What I always wondered was how many of those births were paid for by the parents to begin with? And why are people even allowed to go into our hospitals without being U. S. citizens ,who can not pay the hospital charges out of their own pocket?. Bottom line is this before any damned fool calls me a racist…..It would not matter to me where a person came from (providing they were law abiding to begin with) if they had to find work on their own to survive. That as opposed to getting a free ride for the rest of their life. Many times, as you all know, a better government handout than what American workers who have worked a lifetime and are given a small pittance known as Social Security. That pisses me off to no end…thanks to a bunch of liberal vote-seeking low life sons of bitches called politicians.

Honesty is absolutely no longer a requirement in modern journalism, or what is supposed to pass as journalism.

I saw those photos as well and I am also old enough to recall Janet Reno and company taking a child at gunpoint and sending that child back to a communist nation…

Ideally we have a system in place to vet those claiming to seek asylum quickly without having to separate parents and kids, but pretending we are caging kids to make a political point is some really low ground bullshit which is sadly what I’ve come to expect from the left.

Let’s not forget that the libtard mainstream media is infested with Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder Operatives (TARDOs) that dedicate every moment of their existence to spreading TARD as much as they can!

Break the law, you pay the price. It’s not heartless. You get arrested, you don’t get to bring your kids to prison.

I do like the concentration camp and internment camp analogies. All they do is make themselves sound like morons. It’s getting harder and harder to take the libs, the MSM, and the Republican establishment seriously. They are so far separated from reality, it’s alarming.

The WH should run PS ads on TV showing what a real WW2 concentration camp looks compared to the A/C equipped dorms the illegals are kept in. I am supprised that WW2 camp survivors don’t speak out on the statement made by certain left political peeps that the above are kept in concentration camps but then again, many of them are dem liberals themselves. Hate to say it but there is some truth in it.

Where I struggle is with asylum seekers who do everything the legal way… don’t evade BP, go through the legal crossing point, etc. That seems to be a different kettle of fish than the illegal apprehensions.

The leftist, fake news main stream media lives by the mantra of “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story”….and the leftist stooges just love a good story to latch on to and build on, especially when it comes to economic illegal immigrants or those claiming asylum who travel through many safe havens to get to the destination.
In Australia most view these asylum seekers like sperm….millions get in but only one works.
